transWhat

Outdated Information

This project was published over 10 years ago and is therefore largely outdated. The WhatsApp protocol has changed multiple times since then, so the gateway described here no longer works.

transWhat is a gateway between the XMPP (Jabber) and the WhatsApp network.

XMPP is an open standardized instant messaging protocol family. It’s used widely at services like Google’s GTalk, Facebook, StudiVZ and more. Even WhatsApp is using a modified version of XMPP.

transWhat allows you to use any XMPP client to chat with your WhatsApp contacts. XMPP clients are available for nearly every platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, Symbian, Blackberry, and more. So you aren’t restricted to the proprietary WhatsApp client anymore 😊.

If you aren’t using an XMPP client, I recommend Pidgin, a multi-protocol messenger for Windows, macOS and Linux.
